To the Honorable Mayor Simison, Council Members, City Planning Department, and the Planning and Zoning Commission: I would like to go on record with my comments for the Council meeting for 20 Oct, 2022 for the proposal of the Kingstown Subdivision. I'm sure all the laws of the city will be closely followed as this proposal moves forward, but one law that is being overlooked. A simple law of Physics. Let me explain....water as a fluid and will naturally seek the path of least resistance in order to "make its way downstream". We, as humans, will do the same, that is, seek the least amount of resistance, shortest time, and find the most economical way possible to move about in our daily lives. We, too, are fluid. With this almost nonsensical analogy, I submit that since the Delano project proposal was to use Wainwright and Dashwood as an ingress and egress access road which was ultimately denied to vehicular traffic and subsequently turned into a footpath and emergency access point, that if a new access point is opened, those residents within the Delano project would simply find their way through the Kingstown Subdivision via the 2 proposed outlets on the plot plan and ultimately be crashing through the Alpine Pointe Subdivision as their "newest path of least resistance", along with the hundreds of non localized vehicles buzzing around and through the parking lot of the businesses on the corner of Eagle Rd and Ustick. And it wouldn't take long for the community to learn of that shortcut in order to beat the traffic on Eagle Rd. Allowing access via Rogue River Ave N to gain access to and from the Kingstown development is a bad idea, creating exactly the same negative impact and outcome as using Dashwood for the same purpose. This would completely wash the efforts of ALL parties involved that fought against that proposal months ago. Let's keep property values and traffic just like they are in Alpine Point within our own domain.
